Sprint Releases Details About Epic 4G OTA Update

Sprint has just pushed out an OTA update for the Samsung Epic 4G and due to issues from users reporting a 150kbps cap on uploading speeds, Sprint is at it again. While the upload issue isn’t the only thing wrong with the Epic 4G, we were curious if Sprint had planned on addressing those issues as well. Sprint has just published the changelog, which can be found below, that outlines what the OTA update will address.

9/30 – Samsung Epic Maintenance Release

Fixes:
WiFi standby battery drain
Amazon MP3 cannot download in 4G
Large emails lag in upload speeds
Increased 3G upload speeds

Update your software

1. The software will be automatically downloaded to your phone since this is a recommended update.
2. A System update screen will prompt the user to ‘Install now’ or ‘Install later’.
If ‘Install later’ is selected, a reminder will be sent once or twice a day to install the update.
If ‘Install now’ is selected, the phone will power down and then reboot.

Important Notes:
– This update will take approximately 7-8 minutes to download and 7-8 minutes to install.
– The new software version is: S:D700.0.5S.DI18
– This update is available OTA (over the air) and will be pushed to your device.  It is being pushed in stages, beginning on 9/30 12:00AM EST, and will be rolled out to users over several days.   
– Your device must be on software version DI07 to perform the update to DI18.  If you are still on DG17 or DG27, a Sprint Service and Repair Center should be able to update your device to DI07.  The update from DI07 to DI18 is not yet available to the Service and Repair Centers.  As soon as it is, this post will be updated.


There you have it folks. Your device should get the OTA update in the next couple of days.
